Æ What safety mechanisms or devices have you designed into the system to minimize or mitigate hazards to persons or property on the ground?

• Minimized impacts to NAS facilities.

Æ What are your plans or how is your system designed to reduce a large radar cross-section and become less conspicuous to surveillance systems?

Æ What are your plans or how is your system designed to reduce impacts to any communication or navigation systems supporting the NAS?

In addition, the FAA is requesting input from airspace users regarding the impact AWES would have on the NAS. Specifically, we request airspace users provide comments to the following. Additional information may be requested upon further contact and coordination. This information must be submitted by February 6, 2012.

• What safety implications do you foresee of AWES operations with respect to your use of the airspace or your interest to the NAS?

• Would you have any concerns about AWES permanently operating at altitudes above 500 feet AGL, but, under 1,999 feet AGL? If so, what and why?

• If AWES were permitted to permanently operate in altitudes at or above 2,000 feet AGL, how do you foresee this as negatively impacting your missions, use of the airspace, or other interests in the NAS?

• What other concerns and/or issues might you have with respect to AWES co-existing in the NAS?

Comments Invited

The FAA invites interested persons to submit written comments, data, or views. The agency also invites comments relating to the economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that might result from adopting the proposals in this document. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should submit only one time.

The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives. Before acting on this proposal, the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before the closing date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. The agency may change this proposal in light of the comments it receives.

Proprietary or Confidential Business Information: Commenters should not file proprietary or confidential business information in the docket. Such information must be sent or delivered directly to the person identified in the

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT** section of this document, and marked as proprietary or confidential. If submitting information on a disk or CD–ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM, and identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is proprietary or confidential.

Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), the FAA is aware of proprietary information filed with a comment, the agency does not place it in the docket. It is held in a separate file to which the public does not have access, and the FAA places a note in the docket that it has received it. If the FAA receives a request to examine or copy this information, it treats it as any other request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). The FAA processes such a request under Department of Transportation procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.

However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
